Yunus til Verdensbanken: Giv de fattige ejerskab, ikke regeringerne

Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus urged the World Bank Monday to change course by focusing more directly on the billion people living in the direst poverty.

Yunus, who is championed in his native Bangladesh as the “banker to the poor,” said more of the global development lenders large infrastructure projects should be owned and run by poor local people, not by governments.

– This is an ongoing battle for us, he said at a global summit on microcredit initiatives being held in Canada.
